Hi Lyman, <div><br></div><div>You can get a thick Remflex gasket that should seal that manifold right up. I think Brian has those at BFE. There’s also the HP gasket that moss sells. That splits the differenence between stock and really thick… also made to seal finicky manifolds.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope that helps!</div><div>Dave G<br><div><br><br><div class="yahoo-signature" style=""><a style="font-size:12px" href="https://mail.onelink.me/107872968?pid=nativeplacement&c=Global_Acquisition_YMktg_315_Internal_EmailSignature&af_sub1=Acquisition&af_sub2=Global_YMktg&af_sub3=&af_sub4=100000604&af_sub5=EmailSignature__Static_">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone</a><br></div><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(113, 95, 250); padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, 1:04 AM, Lyman Scherer via Fot <fot@autox.team.net> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail" style=""><div id="yiv0297086039"><div><br id="yiv0297086039lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Apr 7, 2025, at 9:23 PM, Lyman Scherer <lymanazhd@yahoo.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"> 2- 40 DCOE, fuel pressure changes 4-5psi now 4.5psi<br id="yiv0297086039lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Apr 7, 2025, at 9:21 PM, Lyman Scherer <lymanazhd@yahoo.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"> It is intake leakage.. with stock gasket (stainless covered with fiber material) have blown #4 and #1 ports at different events.<div> Have used same gasket on same BajaTR3 engine for 7 years, dozens of events, 1000’s of miles without failure!</div><div>Variable is: TR4 intake and headers that came with #65 car.</div><div>Systems checked: solid 150+ compression, plugs great! cones grey w/ no oiling, valve clearances not changing set .016” intakes .018” exhaust, timing & advance ok 20’ idle 32’ advance, carb jetting from past only richened main.</div><div>Solution?

<p class="yiv0297086039msonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Took the TR4 out in an HPDE3 Session to test how she’s handling. I like how she handles but we have developed a lean condition. Revs fall flat between 4-5k then come back between 5-6k. Changed
jetting and that did not really help. Neither did hotted plugs. Lyman checked valve adjustments. That was not the issue either. It is odd however that we are blowing out the intake gaskets but no issue with the exhaust gaskets.</span></p>
<p class="yiv0297086039msonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="yiv0297086039msonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Lyman figures we are running about 90 hp at the wheel. Hopefully putting it on a dyno next month will help find the lean issue and maybe some more hp from this low compression engine. This is
the motor (and 5 speed Toyota) that was in the Baja Car which needs low compression to deal with low quality fuel in Mexico. This fall a rebuilt high compression engine along with a 4 speed Triumph box will be installed.</span></p>
